Paul Hornung, the Hall of Fame running back with the Packers and 1956 Heisman winner at Notre Dame, has sued the helmet-maker Riddell for failing to warn him and other players that the company's helmets did not prevent concussions. The lawsuit, which seeks damages of at least $50,000, is the latest legal challenge against Riddell, the biggest sports helmet manufacturer in the country. Riddell is a co-plaintiff with the NFL in a class-action suit filed by thousands of former players who accused the company and the league of hiding the dangers of concussions from them. Attorneys for the 80-year-old Hornung filed the civil lawsuit in Cook County Circuit Court in Chicago, naming the Rosemont-based company as the defendant. Hornung suffered multiple concussions with the Packers and has been diagnosed with dementia, the lawsuit says. It said that the neurodegenerative disease has been linked to repetitive head trauma.
